The Urga Racek is a helicopter in Just Cause 3.
Appearance[]
It's based on the Bell 47 and the helicopter is equipped with buoyant skids for take off and landing both on land and water.
The Rebel drop description is "The Racek from Urga is a marine-focused helicopter, which specializes in ocean surveillance and rescue operations. Cruising speed 150 km/h."
The actual maximum speed is 169 km/h in horizontal flight. With the nitro Gear Mod it can momentarily reach 202 km/h.
Performance[]
Relatively light and agile. This is the smallest helicopter in the game, so it's ideal for exploration and tight spaces. Additionally, it makes for a small target if you're dodging SAM sites. If required, the helicopter is also capable of landing and taking off on water. However, do not expect great speed from the helicopter as it's the slowest in the game.
Versions and locations[]
- At multiple Military bases in Medici:
- At helicopter outposts such as Guardia Feno I.
- At three small unmarked outposts in the Rocca Blau province. These spawn points will remain even after the province is liberated. The pictures below were taken at one of said outposts.
- One is at N 40 47.935 E 5 34.655
- Another is at N 40 47.327 E 5 34.120
- The last is at N 40 47.340 E 5 32.890
- For some reason, they will sometimes be dispatched when liberating a base, which is ironic as they are unarmed and can't hurt you. The helicopter will follow Rico around and is actually very convenient, because the game counts it as 1 helicopter being after you. If you don't shoot it down, it will be harmless. The heat system will normally send mostly 2 helicopters after the player, so having 1 of them be harmless is convenient. The only disadvantage is that as long as the enemy sees you, it will be impossible to lose heat.
- This usually happens when a soldier on the ground gets in a vehicle. It often happens with cars, trucks and sometimes tanks. With helicopters, soldiers will get in them if there is one parked nearby and they can't reach the player in any other way, like the player going to a different part of the base they can't reach. Sometime, it may carry one passenger in the cockpit. Three other helicopters often flown are the CS Comet, Urga Postolka, and Eubus Eagle (in towns).
- The pilot is often equipped with a weapon that is not commonly seen, like a CS27 Misfortune or UPM61. If the pilot is somehow alive after hijacking the helicopter, they won’t fire their weapon.

Trivia[]
- Being based on the Bell 47, it's the oldest helicopter in the Just Cause game series so far.
- It's made by the fictional company Urga.
- "Racek" is Czech for "seagull".
- Military Urga Raceks are bugged, as they do not give Chaos Points when destroyed, and are ignored by friendly SAMs even when controlled by enemies. In contrast, Rico will still be fired upon by hostile SAMs in any variant.
- Knowing this, keeping an enemy-controlled Urga Racek in the vicinity may be useful if the player wants to maintain heat, but minimize harm to Rico, since while harmless, it still takes up a helicopter spawn, preventing the likes of CS Navajo showing up.
- The successor to this vehicle is the Emsavion Float Heli in Just Cause 4 with a very similar, if not identical design.
